Unusually this feels even more muscular than the 2000, with dark fruits, fresh acidities and a ton of appellation signature. Powerful tannins that form walls around the fruit even at 20 years old, with nuanced black pepper spice, cocoa bean, woodsmoke, black cherry and blackberry fruit as it opens. 70% new oak. This was the first year with Christian Seely as director, and the selection process for the first wine became more severe, with lower yields and a greater focus on fruit from the historic plot of vines directly opposite Château Latour. Jean-René Matignon remained as technical director.Jane Anson22nd December 2021

The 2001 Pichon Baron has less fruit intensity on the nose compared to the 2000, and more red fruit, laced with smoke and blood orange – traits that I have noted on previous bottles. Hints of dried blood emerge with time. The focused palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fresh and quite minty. Graphite and a sprinkling of white pepper appear toward the finish. This is one occasion on the Left Bank where I find that the 2000 has more authority, although the 2001 has plenty of charm. Neal Martin1st September 2021

A Super Second Classed Growth

Château Pichon Baron is celebrated for its Grand Vin, a Pauillac Second Growth which comes from the oldest vines grown on the historic plots of the estate. A beautiful red, displaying a superb black fruit profile with spicy hints. Château Pichon Baron shows great elegance, intensity and exceptional length on the palate. A well-balanced blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

The Château also produces two second wines, the Cabernet-focused Les Griffons de Pichon Longueville and the Merlot-dominant Les Tourelles de Pichon Longueville. The 73 hectare estate is planted to 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.
